subject  to  examination  in  the  elementary  branches. 

XVII.— MARKS. 

130.  The  scale  of  marks  for  recitation  and  exercises  shall  range 
from  4  to  0.     A  mark  of  4  shall  indicate  thoroughness ;  0,  a  total 
failure;  and  the  intermediate  numbers  shall,  as  far  as  possible,  repre- 
sent absolute  values. 

131.  A  mark  of  2.5  shall  represent  the  minimum  of  proficiency  ; 
and  Cadets  whose  final  average  for  the  term  or  year  in  any  branch 
falls  below  that  number  shall  be  reported  to  the  Academic  Board 
as  deficient  in  that  branch. 

132.  Any  Cadet  absent  without  proper  authority  from  a  recita- 
tion, examination,  or  exercise,  shall  receive  0  as  his  mark. 

133.  Any  Cadet  who,  at  an  examination,  recitation,  or  exercise, 
or  in  the  preparation  of  a  theme,  shall  copy  from  another,  or  shall 
receive  any  unauthorized  assistance,  written,  printed,  or  oral,  or 
shall  attempt  to  obtain  such  assistance,  or  shall  be  found  with  any 
unauthorized  printed  or  written  matter  in  his  possession  relating 
to  the  subject  of  the  recitation  or  exercise,  shall  receive  0  as  his 
mark  for  such  exercise,  and  shall  be  punished  as  the  Superintend- 
ent may  direct,  for  such  unfair  and  unworfhy  conduct. 

134.  In  all  cases,  except  those  mentioned  in  Arts.  132  and  133, 
where  0  is  given  as  a  mark,  the  instructor  giving  the  mark  should 
inform  the  Cadet  of  the  fact. 

135.  Marks  given  in  recitation  before  the  first  Monday  of  the 
first  term  shall  go  on  to  the  next  week. 

136.  During  the  intermission,  from  the  end  of  the  last  mouth  of 
the  second  term  to  the  beginning  of  the  annual  examination,  no 
marks  shall  be  given  in  recitations. 

137.  Unless  otherwise  directed  by  the  Academic  Board,  aver- 


27 

ages  shall  be  computed  in  the  following  manner:  Whenever  a 
Cadet  shall  receive  more  than  one  mark  during  the  week  in  any 
branch,  the  arithmetical  mean  of  such  marks  shall  constitute  his 
weekly  average  in  that  branch.  The  mean  of  the  weekly  averages 
in  any  month  combined  with  the  examination-mark,  if  monthly 
examinations  are  held,  shall  constitute  the  monthly  average.  The 
mean  of  the  monthly  averages  for  the  term  or  year,  combined  with 
the  semi-annual  or  annual  examination-marks,  shall  constitute  the 
final  average  for  the  term  or  year. 

138.  Weekly  averages  shall  be  recorded  to  the  nearest  tenth,  all 
other  averages  to  the  nearest  hundredth. 

139.  When  the  weekly  mark  of  any  Cadet  consists  of  a  mark 
for  a  single  recitation,  in  a  branch  which  has  more  than  one  recita- 
tion per  week,  the  mark  shall  be  considered  as  having  one-half  the 
weight  of  the  average  for  any  other  week. 

140.  If  two  members  of  a  class  have  the  same  average  in  any 
branch  for  the  month,  term,  or  year,  they  shall  receive  the  same 
class-number  and  their  names  shall  be  placed  alphabetically. 

141.  In  marking  examination-papers  or  other  written  exercises, 
in  all  departments,  some  account  shall  be  taken  of  the  form,  lan- 
guage, and  spelling,  as  well  as  of  the  subject-matter,  and  cases  of 
gross  carelessness  shall  be  reported  to  the  Academic  Board. 

142.  In  the  case  of  Cadets  who  take  an  elective  course  in  any 
branch,  the  final  mark  in  that  branch  shall  be  determined  by  add- 
ing to  the  final  mark  received  in  the  required  course  one-fifth  of  the 
amount  by  which  the  final  mark  in  the  elective  course  exceeds  2.50. 

XVIII.— MERIT-ROLLS. 

143.  At  every  annual  examination  the  Academic   Board  shall 
form  a  merit-roll  of  each  class  in  the  following  manner : 

144.  The  final  average  of  each  Cadet,  in  each  branch  for  which 
a  coefficient  is  assigned  in  the  table  of  coefficients,  shall  be  multi- 
plied by  such  coefficient,  and  the  sum  of  the  products,  after  making 
the  deduction  for  conduct,  shall  be  the  final  multiple  for  the  year. 

145.  The  names  of  those  Cadets  who  have  not  been  found  defi- 
cient by  the  Academic  Board  shall  be  arranged  according  to  the 
final  multiple,  the  highest  multiple  being  placed  first  on  the  list 
and  the  others  in  their  order.    After  these  names,  shall  follow  the 
names  of  those  Cadets  who  may  have  been  found  deficient,  arranged 


28 

iu  the  same  manner;  but  no  class-number  shall  be  assigned  to  any 
Cadet  who  has  been  found  deficient. 

146*  The  merit-roll  of  the  graduating  class  shall  contain  in 
addition  a  list  of  the  class  arranged  in  order  of  merit  according  to 
the  graduating  multiple,  made  up  by  adding  together  the  final 
multiples  for  the  four  years. 

147".  Merit-rolls  sent  to  the  Navy  Department  shall  contain  only 
the  names  of  Cadets  passed  by  the  Academic  Board. 

148.  In  the  case  of  a  Cadet  turned  back  to  go  over  the  course  of 
any  year,  his  final  multiple  for  the  course  shall  be  made  up  from 
the  sum  of  the  final  multiples  of  the  years  in  which  he  passed. 

149.  In  the  case  of  a  Cadet  advanced  to  any  class  without 
going  over  the  course  of  the  previous  year,  the  final  multiple  for 
that  year  shall  be  made  up  by  regarding  his  examination -averages 
as  yearly  averages. 

150.  Cadets  who  attain  85  per  cent,  of  the  multiple  in  any  year 
shall  be  distinguished  by  a  star  affixed  to  their  names  on  the  merit- 
rolls.

thus  embarked  shall  be  commanded  by  the  Commandant  of  Cadets
